2014 Draft Combine

[Deleted member 848]

Julius Randle on not skipping NBA Combine: "I'm a competitor. I like to see how I stack up against other people."

Gary Harris and Elfrid Payton aren't participating in drills

that's a joke. The only reason he's participating is because a good showing will propel his stock. The main questions of his are his athleticism, and measurements-- he has every reason to try and have a great showing at the combine.


Meanwhile, these exact things are already expectations for the top 4 mocked players-- so anything other than a perfect showing will drop their stock.

Smart was the best flopper in college basketball last year. To me that's not playing with fight & heart.



Flopping is the very definition of 'backing down'.

Whatever floats your boat.

I guess PG_AB was right about Vonleh after all...

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress 6m
Freakish measurements for Noah Vonleh. 6'8" w/o shoes. 7'4.75 wingspan (+8.75"!) Hand length of 11.75" is 2nd all time to Greg Smith's 12.0"

Still like Randle's fight more though.

if we fall, draft Vonleh & call it a day. I wont even be that mad.

Dante Exum measured 6-6 in shoes, 196 pounds with a 6'9.75 wingspan. That's huge for a NBA PG.

... but is he a bit undersized for a SG???

Great. Another pg that will overmatch Trey.

Kobe Bryant - 6'6
Alec Burks - 6'6
Dwyane Wade - 6'4
Tony Allen - 6'4
Lance Stephenson - 6'5
James Harden - 6'5

I'm gonna go with no. He is fine as a SG height wise.

For what it is worth, NBA has Dante Exum in with the shooting guards here at #NBACombine. He can play some point but projects as a 2 guard.

i was figured Dante would show up near 200 lbs, thats a good # for him

How happy would you all be with drafting Exum and playing him at SG?
